Insert Installation Tips?
That’s a fair point and probably why the experts see no value in broadhead indexing— proper vanes might generate enough drag and lift to overwhelm the proportionally smaller amount of drag and lift generated by blades. Anyway, is it September yet? -
Insert Installation Tips?
So, in my very much not-an-aeronautical-engineer mind, it wouldn’t really matter how the broadhead blades are indexed relative to the vanes on a particular arrow, but that the broadhead blades are in the same orientation to the vanes (and probably the spine, too) across all arrows in a batch... -
Insert Installation Tips?
Archery experts will unanimously tell you broadhead orientation to vanes does not matter for accuracy. I trust they know what they’re talking about, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that random orientation of fins (which broadheads are, in effect) on the front of the arrow... -

Sounding like Shipstation better hope they’ve got solid data breach/cybersecurity insurance coverage in place.- Sheltowee

Muzzle-loaders.com spam?
No, but I just got two e-mails from Thor bullets saying the same thing. I bet they've been hacked. Ope nope, here you go:- Sheltowee

My name is Larry and I MAY have a problem.......
That thing is going to be hell on wheels for Colorado deer and pronghorn. Sharp looking rig! -
Arrow rest
That’s the plan. Not getting much speed regardless with my draw length so went a little heavier on arrows. Just have to be choosy with my shots. -
Arrow rest
Ha guilty, alligator arms here. Speed verified on a chrono at my local shop a couple of weeks ago. Only drawing about 27.5 inches. Agree that practicing at long range makes those 50 yarders easier but saying you’ve got to be hitting 300fps and shooting animals at 90 yards to be successful out... -
Arrow rest
Man, I guess I’d better hang it up since I’m only getting 250fps with my arrows around 425 grains. Of course, Uncle Randy killed a bison drawing 60lbs and flinging 520 grainers, so maybe there is hope for us after all. -

Suggestions for a quail gun?
Another vote here for the Benelli Montefeltro. Franchi also has an Affinity in 20 with blued/walnut furniture and several years ago had a pretty sweet humpback semi-auto, the 48-AL, that you might be able to find cheap on the used market. -
Gettysburg
Yes, Atkinson is very good. He wrote a pretty solid one on the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 IIRC. For my money, anything by Antony Beevor for the ETO, Ian Toll's Pacific War trilogy or Hornfischer's Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors/Neptune's Inferno are the best writing on WWII.- Sheltowee

Gettysburg
Probably a little dry but the generation of history works written in the first 50 or so years after the war, when there were still quite a few Civil War veterans still living, are pretty cool artifacts in their own right. In the same vein, the books written by ranking officers are good for...- Sheltowee

Read The Last Full Measure: The Life and Death of the First Minnesota Volunteers just a few months ago. Fantastic work with a lot of primary source material in it.- Sheltowee

Gettysburg
As always, very well researched @VikingsGuy. You might find Apostles of Disunion interesting if you haven't read it already. I do think there is a distinction to be made between the political reasons for secession-- which was undoubtedly slavery-- and the political reasons for opposing...- Sheltowee
